Some news: I've been told that China Post is experiencing major congestion right now, which would explain why it takes so long to restock lasers. Several shipments lately have used 5-6 weeks from Asia to me. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything other than saying that I'm trying my best to keep lasers stocked.

Also, as written on our twitter: BitLasers will be participating in Bitcoin Friday, a bitcoin community-wide sale on November 9th. If you are considering buying a laser, this would be the time. The details of the sale will be revealed later.

We are getting stun guns and crossbows soon how about something like that? I would ship out first as you are the established forum member here. I will be putting items up in the marketplace here soon as they come in.

Bitcoin friday is fast approaching and we may not be able to get most items back in stock.. Which really sucks, obviously. But the discount will obviously still apply for preorders. We are slowly but surely receiving parts, I hope that we will have most diode lasers in stock within a week, and green lasers within two weeks. Scratch that, it seems the greens will be in stock in time for friday A new green laser is also arriving, 150mW. And I'm working on improving the kit to provide better heatsinking.

In other news, we have changed advertising solution, because I was pretty much scammed by bitcoinadvertising.com. If you are interested in advertising on bitlasers, check out Operation Fabulous.

Why are your lasers so cheap compared to WickedLasers or other webshops?Is this about the quality?

A lot of laser vendors are very overpriced, including Wickedlasers. Their markup is something like 500%, maybe even higher. And their quality are not superb either, they are actually pretty infamous in the laser community. Some expensive laser companies have good reasons to be expensive though, like top-notch quality and bleeding edge R&D.

There are many shops that sell lasers as cheap as me, maybe even cheaper, my prices are not really that low. I do have the advantage of not buying assembled lasers and reselling them, I build them from parts, which is cheaper. Therefore I mostly charge for labour, not materials. And this is a hobby for me, so I don't really mind working for a low hourly wage. Also, since this is a tiny hobby-based shop, I don't have to bother with taxes and paperwork which would bring the cost up quite a bit.

It's not really about the quality (at least in my opinion ), I've never has a customer complain about quality as of yet. And if the lasers do break or something, I offer a little warranty, and repair-service for cost of parts only, if the warranty has expired.
